Hello,
We have been using custom attachment forms for the various attachment fields on our Specify 6 instance without issue. E.g. CollectionObjectAttachmentBRI
Where the workflow is to browse for the attachment using
uitype=“browse”
However when the form is initialised in our Specify 7 instance the browse does not work and the “Choose a file or drag it here” attachment plugin that initializes with the default ObjectAttachment form does not load, leaving no way to add new attachments. (The green arrow to add a new COAttachment does not prompt a way to actually browse or add the attachment.
I can reset the CollectionObject view to use the default ObjectAttachment subview, but this removes all the fields that we would typically include with the Attachment:
Is there a way to get the “Choose a file or drag it here” attachment plugin to start by default on the custom CollectionObjectAttachmentBRI form?
The XML for the subview is the same as the default with the exception of the viewname:
cell type=“subview” id=“attachments” viewname=“CollectionObjectAttachmentBRI” name=“collectionObjectAttachments” initialize=“btn=true;icon=CollectionObjectAttachment” colspan=“2”>
We’re running Specify 7 v7.9.6.2
